Crafsman _knows_ viewers come to his channel for stress relief.

As if I thought your host the crafsman couldn’t get more wholesome. This is a whole new level❤️❤️❤️

CrafsMan out here SteadyCarin about everybody, such a good person. I appreciate every little insight and thought you have. Much love.

I actually use the crafsman voice when I try to calm my little girl. Jus' like dat right dere.

I love it when he sometimes strays apart from regular vids and makes videos that help his fans in a more direct way,he's so nice

You,sir,are a kind and caring soul. Your videos are meaningful,and heartfelt. Bless you and the ones you love. You have no idea how much this world needs your voice right now. We are grateful for you. I say "we" because I know I am not alone in my feeling. Sending a big soul hug

I have taken up felting after watching your video on felting and it helps with stress felting is like constructive stabbing lol

Okay now I need an app with that LED board and Crafsman's calm coaching on breathing. Perfect visual aid and audio re-enforcement.

I was in such extreme pain last night that my body started panicking, I remembered watching this video and used the square breathing to get some control back. There are no words to explain how much this helped me and I just wanted to say thank you.

I wanted to do something similar for my podcast listeners but I’m just going to teach them the CrafsMan method instead. Many thanks my friend, Eric.

Awwww Crafsman is so caring ❤️

You have no idea how much I needed this video to focus myself away from my anxiety today. Thank you for reminding me of the power of breath. It’s easy to forget all the tools for stress relief when you’re having a panic attack. Thanks again, you really are a special person 👍

Craftsman is a National Treasure and must be protected at all costs! Thank you for this! We love you!!!!

I don't even have anxieties or panic attacks but still feel more relaxed now😂

This is one of the most wholesome channels on KZfaq

CrafsMan is on the level of wholesomeness and grace as icons like Mr. Rodgers and Levar Burton. Thank you so much for being there for everyone through stress and joy. We love you

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I was on a particularly turbulent flight today. I HATE turbulence, so it was a bad time for me. I used the square breathing technique to calm myself down and it really helped.

I’m failing high school rn and this actually helps with the stress of trying to bring up grades

My blood pressure improved from a KZfaq video. Magic! Thanks, C-Man!

This is really helpful! My breathing varies in panic attacks-sometimes too fast, too slow, or I'll just hold my breath all without me really realizing. Having a steady repetitive pattern makes me feel less out of control and the repetition itself is soothing.

This is excellent, Crafsman. I work at a psychiatric ward and this is the first tool a give my patients.

I’m binging crafsman videos because life is stressful right now, crafsman is my anchor to reality

He's like the Bob Ross of crafts. I love this person. Thank you for being so kind.

I really do feel that the Internet is blessed to have the crafsman. Thank you kindly for sharing.

I'm new to your channel and I've already seen and liked all your videos, the sound of your voice, the crafts you make and the message you transmit are "mind and soul-comfort" it's been helping me a lot in a very difficult time that I'm going through. (I lost my 15 year old dog to cancer, he was everything to me) I want to thank you, I'm glad I found your channel. Stay well.

Oh yeah this is deffinetly going to go on my crafsman videos for anxiety list thank you

Craftsman, a genuine gentleman and a scholar. Bows to you, Sir.

I've been very sick and throwing up for several days, and stricken with insomnia, which really affects my anxiety/depression, as well. Your videos help me to relax, more than any music or anything else. This one showed up right on time to make a huge difference for me. Thank you so much. We love you, and keep steady craftin!

You are a beautiful human being my friend. You bring joy, entertainment and peacefulness to everyone who watches your videos. LOVE Y'ALL CRAFSMAN.

You are the kind of human that this world needs Crafsman. Thank you for doing what you do.

I can't believe I didn't see this until now - I just today recommended breathing exercises as a stress management tool to my adult autism support group, and here's a half a year old video that explains it all perfectly in under 5 mins. Crafsman, you a Godsend

This man’s unintentional ASMR is superb

TheCrafsMan SteadyBreathin channel Crafs Man's poetry, music and coping mechanisms. ;-)

this is the best ASMR I've had in recent memory

Yes you do! Once i couldn’t fall asleep and I felt like I was going to have a panic attack and I put you on and it really helped me fall back to sleep thank you 😊

I’ve used a 4 second breathing technique before, but this square breathing makes it work even better. Thank you CrafsMan!

Thank you Mr. The Crafsman. I am going to try and use this technique when I am doing my MRI next week. (Wed) I injured my shoulder (dislocated) and they are worried that my rotator cuff has been torn. I went in last week and I could NOT stand the tightness of that tube. I've been rock climbing for over 25 years... I can be anchored off the side of a cliff @ 800' off the ground with no problem. But you put me in a tube and I freak out. :( Thank you sir for all you do for us. We love you, and keep on ste..... you know what to do! :)

Crafsman, I couldn't sleep because I've very excited about my upcoming trip to see my family. I tried a relaxation thing on Fitbit and it did not help, but your Square Breathing sure did! And now I have the memory of a cool visual to go with it...those little blue and yellow squares traveling in a square. Now instead of picturing some random vague square, I can picture your excellent blue and yellow squares on their soothing square journey. Thank you, Crafsman.

Watching at half speed I almost passed out...... This IS a more stressful time. My life had already become a stress factory after an accident 8 years ago. So much so, I export stress. Friends that would help you move a couch don't want to share your stress, but the source is there, and it's not going away. The big picture is too overwhelming and it would just crush me if I took it all in at once. So the best I can do is try to break it up with distractions. The more stressed I get, the faster I click videos. It's about the only thing I can do, both physically, and financially. Breathing is also one of the things I'm able to do, and it's free, but sometimes I still forget to do it, or I do it too much. Great video and great advice!

CrafsMan, you are one of those people who makes the world a better place with everything you do. Keep on steady carin' - and thanks.

I had a wonderful mentor when I was studying artistic welding and metal sculpture. His approach wasn't even remotely as chill as our man the Crafsman, but anytime I'd get bent out of shape or anxious over a project he'd just glance up at me over his thick frame glasses and say "stress kills kid...stress kills".

What wonderful advise! I have anger issues and I use breathing to control my temper. It really does work and I'm glad to see it being shared.

I love Crafsmans practical effects. How creative was his breathing guide portion with the leds?

CrafsMan you are a wonderful human being. I’ve learned square breathing somewhere before but had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. Peace and love to you and the CrafsFamly. ❤️

I am blessed not to have anxiety but I know so many folks, who are affected by it. I’m so glad I have something tangible I can share with them. God bless you !

My grandmother taught me this technique when I was 8 years old. I've used it for over 30 years. It is also effective for falling asleep.

I have to admit, listening to your videos helps me decompress after stressful work days.

Craftsman, the best medicine for any stressful situation.

You're a gift to this world, Crafsman. I wouldnt mind seeing more videos like this if you had fun making it and want to make more!

It must be weird to start a KZfaq channel for crafting and then realize your work helps other's mental health. He reminds me of Fred Rodgers with the comforting wholesomness they both exude.

As a social worker who has taught this technique so many times, this is great! You covered everything, kept it simple to understand, and made it entertaining. Thanks you so much for this. I love your channel. ❤

This is why I love you so much. You aren't afraid to do something different on your channel to help your viewers.

Warning! this video has caused me all kinds of stress. I was watching it while driving and between Craftsmans smooth calming voice and the bird chirping in the back ground and becoming relaxed I fell asleep and wrecked my car! No not really I ain't that dumb to watch a video while driving but I could see it happening. Great video Craftsman.

If you ever wanted to see someone that truly cares for their audience then look no more, crafsman is it 😃

Crafsman is my spirit animal.

I am one of those people. I have repeatedly shared your videos cause that feeling at peace and safe calm u provide.. You are a wonderful being for many. Thank you gratefully a true fan. Im glad you are available to so many... Most importantly kids. Id have found a healthy role model!!!✌

Thank you, Crafsman! That is exactly the Breathing Technique I have taught all my children so they can Self Regulate their Breathing and get Self Control goin on when their Emotions get to Overwhelming them. Great Video, as always!

I love this! I work as a therapist and use this breathing technique with clients. This is such a great, simple, clear, relaxing description, I will share this with them in the future!

Thank you, Your Host Crafsman. This video is sure to help thousands of people. Also, a tip: think to yourself "everything will be okay" while counting to 4.

Quite literally, I just watched an older video of yours, today, to help with a minor anxiety surge. This video is perfectly timed. Thanks, so much, CrafsMan

Possibly your best video to date. You're helping a lot of folk, hope you know that.

Thank you, Crafsman. Over this past year I've realised how much anxiety I have inside me and how tense I am. Trying this square breathing for a few minutes made me feel noticeable more relaxed. Thank you kindly, good sir.

Craftsman it doesn’t surprise me what people say about your videos. They always seem to brighten my day even when I’m already having a good one! You bring an energy that is pure in heart and I think people can feel that even if they don’t know they feel it. That and the ASMR of your voice and the way you go about pronouncing certain syllables is soothing to the soul. Keep on keepin on Crafsman!

Crafsman, you are helping us craf our mental health now and I love it. Thank you.

Accidentally drew a pentagon. Passed out. Woke up. Checked instructions. Now I got my square and chill goin on. Thank you Crafstman.

Mr crafsman i really would like to say thank you for this. Times have been hard on everyone, and it speaks leagues to me that youre willing to try and help the people out where normally a creator wouldn't. So... Thank you. Genuinely. And i really hope you and your family have a wonderful week.

Bro.. thank you - I honestly came looking for one of your videos to bring my anxiety levels down.. I can’t believe I found this - perfect 🙏🏼👊🏼

Glad-Glad it was someone personality-wise like you that did a video like this, people listen to you.

Thank you I am normally a controld person but today somthing out of my strength happened today. Call it Devin intervention or just plain God. I found this. You knew I would need this before I did. Thank you for your heart.

As a deli manager going into the holidays, i definitely needed this video. Your other videos are calming enough for the same effect but this was focused on relaxing specifically which was also really nice

These comments are wholesome and unified. Lovely!

Thank you so much for this crafsman! I have never heard of this technique. Usually when people tell me different breathing excersizes, I forget the number of seconds I need to inhale, exhale, and hold. But the visualization of the square makes it so much easier to remember!

You are such a caring soul, Crafsman... I am so grateful that you are in this world. Thank you...😘

you are truly a good man. You have given me my belief back in the goodness of people. I hope that those who have watched this will pass it on to others in there need. Bless you

Couldn’t have come at a better time I start my new position at my job tomorrow! Thanks Crafsman you’re the best!

I taught this to my pre primary class yesterday. They all loved it and ... guess what? Calmed down instantly! Thanks Crafsman.

You know we love you back, CrafsMan.

I need more videos like this with your soft voice and no music effects, it’s so calming especially in these times

that video couldnt have come at a better time. im sure theres a ton of other people who feel the same, but for me, that was some real serendipity timed video posting crafsman. thankyou.

CrafsMan. I dont know where you are. Or what you are doing. But you have given me the tools to chase a real dream. It's a stupid crazy idea, but in my mind, it works. I have learned more from you in 3 days of binge watching than i could "evah" expect from a store employee.

I remember when I was diagnosed with hyper ventilation, the doctor gave me this exact breathing exercise to help calm me when I when it starts up,

Crafsman, you are the calm in the chaos. Love you!

I just found this page via my BFF and I LOVE IT!!! Informative, useful, happiness, smiling, fun, adorbs, creative. It's da best

Thank you Craftsman. For helping you breathe all the stress out of me.

OMG is this a known thing? I taught my twins this when they were little as a way to help them get to sleep when they said they couldn't sleep. It was something I literally made up on the spot as I felt it would work out well for them. I didn't know the holding your breath bit, it was all about visualising the square while slowing your breath. I would alternate it with the fist technique. Clenching one first at a time and releasing the pressure as slowly as possible, then swapping hands.

Crafsman voice alone helps with stress and relaxing one

You're such a sweet and compassionate individual, Crafsman! You saw a need for something amongst your viewer base and decided to directly make a difference :)

Thank you, Craftsman! Imma bookmark the heck outta this video for those times that I need to chill OUT.

Fantastic video! I love you too, Crafsman. I have struggled with anxiety for most of my life (the last 4 days was fixin to do me in, but we made it!) and breathing has been the most effective anti-anxiety tool I’ve found. I combine this “square” technique with diaphragmatic breathing - so you do this square breathing, but ONLY by using your belly. Inflate your belly, pulling in the breath; hold it; release, hold, repeat. Don’t let your chest swell, or your shoulders move at all. Only moving the belly. This triggers a ‘rest and digest’ response in your brain and body - your brain thinks it’s time for sleep and digestion - and this is especially wonderful for people (like me) who also suffer from stomach upset associated with stress/anxiety.

This is perfect timing my exams is coming up this week so thanks Crafsman you're the best.

I LOVE boxed breathing! i personally like to breathe in and out through my nose, I find it to be more therapeutic. I'm so glad you've shared this information.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who turns to your host The Craftsman when I'm feeling anxious! I am saving this video for quick recall whenever I need it and to share it with others. I'm familiar with the practice of quake breathing, but your voice is so soothing I might actually follow the practice! I ♥️ you, The Craftsman!

:-) Thanks Crafsman :-)

Thank you crafsmam, it is beautiful to see more creators helping with stress, anxiety, depression. I advocate positive mental health in my videos and live streams. Just the other day I explained one of the breathing techniques that i use. Thank you so much for this video.

This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you so much Crafsman. 🙏🏼

You're such a stellar human being, Crafsman. We love you. Keep on steady craftin n square breathin ok.

Thank you so much. I am one of the individuals that likes to watch your content to calm down from episodes. This will help a lot I imagine.

You continue to surprise me and I appreciate your amazing empathy towards others. Thank you.

This came at the exact right time for me. Having major surgery tomorrow morning and have been feeling very anxious today. Thank you Crafsman!
